In Tampa this week, where to ride?

[timic101]

Hello all,

I'm in Tampa for a week with my wife & baby and was hoping to get some riding in. I'm an experienced rider (4 years) from MA (CAPE COD RIPS!). Anyhow, I know how senstiive local spots can be and don't want to ride anywhere I'm not supposed to be, or break any rules / laws. I'm actually staying in Ellenton. I've done some research and can see that people ride at Skyway bridge, Honeymoon Island, Fort Desoto Park, and some more spots...I'm just trying to figure out where the best spot would be. Can anyone share some insight ?...looking for a relatively safe place to ride, where my wife & baby can chill on the beach without being hassled. Looks like some potential for wind tomorrow (sunday)? Also, do I need to wear a shorty or are swim trunks fine? Keep in mind, I'm used to 60degree water where I'm from.

Thanks in advance. I'm really hoping to get some good riding in down here.
